Multiple Personalities Support Group
Dissociative identity disorder is a diagnosis described as the existence in an individual of two or more distinct identities or personalities, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment. At least two of these personalities are considered to routinely take control of the individual's behavior, and there is also some associated memory loss,...
My husband has known about my DID since we met because in an attempt to quell the fears of mistrusting parts I told him everything in order to say this iz what you're getting into and this is your opportunity to run. We've been married for 2 years now and together for 3 but recently my switching has gotten worse and one of my alters slept with someone else. We are trying to work it out but he is now treating me as if my DID is something disgusting and scary and he isn't supporting me when I'm dealing with bad feelings or losing time. He doesn't want me to talk about my disorder with him at all. And he's the only support person I've had who I felt comfortable discussing it with. Now I feel completely alone and lost and its raising some very negative and even suicidal parts. I don't know what to do. I've scheduled a new appointment with a psychiatrist but its over a month away. Just.. No idea where I go from here.
You need to give yourself whatever safety or calming things have helped you in the past, so you can feel safe and believe that you can get yourself through this.
Without knowing your husband I don't know what kind of person he is, but he is going through something as well. He has to deal with betrayal and the feelings and thoughts this situation has brought up in him. He might be completely supportive of you, but its not like he will be unaffected by this situation.
Hopefully one of your alters he is familiar with can talk with him and get a discussion going.
I really don't know.
I don't know how others live with us multis, I don't know how we live with ourselves...just keep as present as you can be and try not to judge yourself or him too harshly
